    D&D 5E "Jedi" type spells

    I find your lack of bass disturbing.

    D&D 5E "Jedi" type spells

    The best option I saw in this thread for a pure Jedi flavor is a Monk, choosing the Way of the Four Elements (but replace the actual powers with appropriate spells, as mentioned in the OP), and with a Sun Blade (which counts as a shortsword, so it can be used as a monk weapon).

    D&D 5E Avenger in 4th to 5th

    Yeah, a Dex-based, light armor-wearing character is, in theory, self-balanced against a character in heavy armor + shield (whatever points of AC they lose are compensated with the better ranged capabilities, initiative, stealth and Dex save). If the character instead wants *no* armor, then I'd...

    Jeremy Crawford On The Dark Side of Developing 5E

    One possibility is focusing on themes, like Heroes of Horror and Heroes of Battle did. I agree with not wanting all settings to feel the same, but perhaps taking an element and showing how it can be used in several settings. Psionics + Madness can be found in RL (Bluetspur), Eberron (Quori)...

    D&D 5E Avenger in 4th to 5th

    It's not exactly equal, but models the ability pretty well. You can replace the component with your holy symbol, you can choose Sorcerer as the list you choose from (Cha-based), plus you get two at-will cantrips, one of which could be Blade Ward, for some thematic relation to the reason you're...

    D&D 5E The 5E Art is Awesome

    What, no love for the halfling wizards on pages 44, 142, 156 or 180?

    D&D 5E Avenger in 4th to 5th

    I don't think you *need* to edit the paladin. The Oath of Vengeance paladin *is* the 5e version of the Avenger. Just put your Dex as your highest stat, followed by Charisma, and use Finesse weapons. If you really want to go unarmored, you can pick the Magic Initiate feat and choose Mage Armor as...

    Jeremy Crawford On The Dark Side of Developing 5E

    IMHO, I think what he's referring to is that those 2e settings began as supplements to the core game, but as the years went on, they veered down the rabbit hole, and each setting became almost a separate game by itself (q.v. Dragonlance's Fifth Age, RL's Domains of Dread). So a RL supplement had...

    D&D 5E Short rests -- how often in a day?

    My group usually aim at a short rest around noon, and another around mid-afternoon, and a long rest after nightfall, with around 2-3 encounters between them (so 6-9 encounters). I'm tempted to come up with a quick rest (5-minutes) that would provide a "breather". Not enough to recharge...

    Sage Advice: The Rules of Spellcasting

    Re: Cure Wounds: you could deliver the touch with the holy symbol on your shield. Re: Magic Missile: I agree, that seems a bit off. But I'd let the restriction stand, and point the player to the War Caster feat.

    Sage Advice: The Rules of Spellcasting

    Think of it this way: when you're handling a Material component, that hand counts as already "in the loop" for Somatic components, so they don't interfere with each other. When you're casting a spell with only Somatic components, it means the gestures take on a greater part of the burden of...

    D&D 5E How has 5e solved the Wand of CLW problem?

    Any character with proficiency in the Herbalism Kit can churn out potions of healing, so there *are* magic items for sale... or crafting. That being said, it varies from group to group. Some DMs just adjust encoutner difficulty, so there's never a *need* for gp-for-hp (healer's kits, potions or...

    D&D 5E Cost of a Bowyer/Flecher Kit

    I'd go with the Carpenter's Kit (8 gp, 6 lbs).

    ELEMENTAL EVIL Player's Companion - FREE!

    I'd go even further: 15-ft. *cube* area. Any winged creature that flies too close to the ground would be forced to land. A Small creature (again, IMHO) could fly in smaller spaces (keep an empty 5-foot cube between it and the ground), and a Tiny creature could fly at any altitude without...

    ELEMENTAL EVIL Player's Companion - FREE!

    My personal preferences, which I'll be house ruling into the races: Air and Earth Genasi: gain the new air and earth cantrips from EEPC. Goliath: Mighty: When a goliath wields a Versatile weapon, they deal the increased damage even if wielding the weapon one-handed.
